I've been selling on eCrater for over a year since I left FleaBay & I simply love it! I don't mind paying Paypal & Google fees for credit card use. Really love the fact there are no fees so most of the money I make, which isn't much is almost all profit!!
There's a few things that I hope they will be able to improve like transferring our Ebay ratings & an easier way to contact eCrater with a suggestion box. Keep up the great work eCrater!!!

USAebikes sold seven electric bikes in 2011 directly from ecrater but I only sold one bike this year and wonder why that is? I love ecrater also, it is so easy to use. I would have to pay about $70 to ebay or up to $160 to Amazon for each sale. I tend to pass the savings on to my buyers by lowering my prices, however.

Could be a combination of the economy, our not so prominent visiblity in google search, how much you are promoting your store. It is many reasons. Having you checked your google analytics to see if your traffic is up or down and where it is coming from?

I love Ecrater too.. I have a craft boutique and i hand make everything
seen in my store. Currently i'm making beaded jewelry & in the future i'll be
adding more things besides the jewelry but reasons i love Ecrater .. to sign up
is free, there's no listing fees, listings are unlimited, the only cost is when
your products sells thru the marketplace. for payment i'm using
paypal and that's relatively low cost. your products get submitted to
google shopping. I also except checks & money orders to give more payment
options. I have learned do not use stripe there very crooked & are not
Ecrater friendly. My point is with these features you cannot beat this.
sites like ebay, etsy, Storenvy, nickle and dime for everything from listing fees,
relisting fees, marketing and the list goes on and on. There transactions and
processing fees per item sold are higher. To me Ecrater may be a simple
platform but by far there the Best!
